Surreal Feeling

My day starts at midnight When the sun has disappeared The moon at its fullest Shining bright through my blinds The same blinds that keep the sun from burning my skin This surreal feeling surrounds me

Walking to the kitchen knowing something, Someday soon, I will never see the moon, The stars that I gaze up at every night I grab one of the dark red bottles from the refrigerator As I drink and some of the drink spills from my mouth And down my throat This surreal feeling surrounds me

I hear a strange creak It was coming from living room I put my drink on the counter Walking with caution toward the strange sound This surreal feeling surrounds me

When I walked through the doorway into the living room I flicked on the light switch I glanced around the room Looked everywhere, found nothing There was one place I hadn’t checked… the closet As I walked to the closet I felt something I opened the door to the closet and The surreal feeling swallows me whole
